I was surprised. I've never been sure what's responsible for the appearance that there's one native American accent, and that it spreads into Canada too.

I think the native American accent of which you speak (and indigenous Canadian too) is more likely to be a cadence.

The DC handgun law has been struck down, in a 5-4 decision, and the majority says there is an individual right to bear arms...

But with Scalia writing the majority opinion, one isn't that surprised, yes?

I am so not a fan of Scalia. I think if there really is an incarnation of the devil, that man is it.

The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditional lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.

I spoke to the vet again. There's something going on with Pico's TMJ. It could be a bone infection, which is treatable, or it could be bone cancer, which NSM. We are consulting with a pet radiologist. But it doesn't look good. The vet called me while Pico was still under in case I wanted to put him to sleep.

Oh, {{{Sue}}}

I'm sorry it isn't looking good for Pico.

Oh no, Sue.

Oh Sue, I am so very sorry.
